Well it's update Wednesday!
The bricking is coming along slowly, taking a bit longer than we think it should, but hopefully it's all on track.
They've at least almost finished the front of the house including the entrance and garage, and are gradually making their way around the whole house.
We are both a little concerned about the front of the house being the 'Oakland' facade. The original Camberwell 29 has the 'Balgowie' facade, the one we originally chose but had to change because of a neighbour with the same facade.
We went on to change ours to the Oakland, but this facade has a very prominent portico entrance, which given the style of our Camberwell doesn't seem to match.
Of course we are only realising this now, and after seeing the brickwork finished at the front of the house, we are thinking there is too much space above the front windows.
There will be render all around the bottom half of the front facade, so we hope this will make balance out the overall look.
It's always a gamble choosing your exterior style and colours, one you will have to live with for a very long time; hopefully ours will look okay!
